Kubernetes(EKS) monitoring for Fullstack

[Gogi]

Hi All,

I have setup kubernetes(EKS) monitoring using using Dynatrace operator automated mode as per steps in DT docs.

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/full-stack-dto-k8#automated

1. Its collecting infra data but not collecting RUM data, please help me exactly which step from doc I need to check for this issue.

2. Whether Env Activegate is mandatory for this integration ? whether we get any extra metrics or benefits by using Env AG. 

Regards,

Guru Gogi

If you followed all steps it should work immediately. However, if you use Dynatrace Managed - you need to install Cluster ActiveGate. In SaaS, make sure your users are not blocked to send data to our public infrastructure - maybe a proxy is needed. 

Check if there's a Javascript agent injected into the application header. If yes - then look at the network. If no, then also re-redeploy your application pods. 

Hope this helps.

1. Its collecting infra data but not collecting RUM data, please help me exactly which step from doc I need to check for this issue. - Rum data will be collected if you use client app plugin or sdk, or any RUM monitoring setup

2. Whether Env Activegate is mandatory for this integration ? whether we get any extra metrics or benefits by using Env AG. - Use of AG gets benefitted  in many ways

Thanks Rodoslaw and Techean for replies.

1. Its collecting infra data but not collecting RUM data, please help me exactly which step from doc I need to check for this issue-> I generated the traffic for the webapplication running on K8s cluster and after few minutes it started showing up the RUM data in Dynatrace.

2. Whether Env Activegate is mandatory for this integration ? whether we get any extra metrics or benefits by using Env AG.-> Env AG is not mandatory, if we have Env AG its good and provides extra benifits. When we configure this setup Dynatrace operator will create one default cluster AG with only "K8s" and "oneAgent routing" modules enabled.
